Description

    BACKGROUND
  • 1. Field of the Invention
  • The present invention relates to a power supply cable routing structure to heating wire terminals connected to a heating wire laid in a window glass of a vehicle and projecting on the window glass.
  • 2. Description of the Related Art
  • Conventionally, a heating wire for the defogging of an inner surface, the defrosting of an outer surface and the like is laid in a window glass of a vehicle such as an automotive vehicle and a heating wire terminal connected to the heating wire is provided to project on a surface of the window glass to make an external power supply cable connectable to such a heating wire.
  • Such a heating wire terminal is composed of a base end part connected to a heating wire and a connecting portion projecting obliquely upwardly from such a base end part to prevent the interference of a connection terminal provided on an end of the power supply cable and the window glass when the connection terminal is connected to the connecting portion of the heating wire terminal, for example, as shown in FIG. 7 of Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. H07-132781. Specifically, the vicinity of the base end part of the heating wire terminal is exposed to outside even if the connection terminal of the power supply cable is connected to the connecting portion of the heating wire terminal.
  • If a plurality of heating wire terminals are provided to project on the window glass, the power supply cable connected to one heating wire terminal may interfere with the other heating wire terminal, particularly with the vicinity of the base end part exposed to outside. If the power supply cable interferes with the base end part exposed to outside, a sheath of the power supply cable made of resin may be abraded against the heating wire terminal made of metal to be broken, whereby a core of the power supply cable and the heating wire terminal may directly come into contact to cause breakage due to intermittent vibration of the vehicle. Accordingly, as described, for example, in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2006-232072, the interference of the power supply cable connected to one heating wire terminal and the other heating wire terminal is avoided by maximally separating arrangement positions of the heating wire terminals or making wiring directions of the power supply cables different.
  • However, if the arrangement positions of the heating wire terminals are maximally separated or the wiring directions of the power supply cables are made different as described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2006-232072, the enlargement of a space necessary to route the power supply cables to the heating wire terminals is unavoidable. Thus, it has been difficult to call the above structure a routing structure capable of sufficiently meeting a request for space saving of recent years.
  • The present invention was developed against the above situation and aims to provide a novel power supply cable routing structure to heating wire terminals capable of space-efficiently routing power supply cables to a plurality of heating wire terminals provided to project on a window glass of a vehicle.
    • SUMMARY
  • A first aspect of the present invention is directed to a power supply cable routing structure to heating wire terminals each including a base end part to be connected to a heating wire laid in a window glass of a vehicle and a connecting portion projecting from the base end part, characterized in that a plurality of the heating wire terminals are aligned and arranged in a state where the connecting portions thereof have the same projection direction and are separated from each other in the projection direction, a connection terminal provided on an end of a power supply cable is connected to each of the heating wire terminals and the power supply cable is drawn out in the projection direction of the connecting portion, and an interference regulating member is mounted on a part of the power supply cable connected to the connecting portion of one of the heating wire terminals and extending while passing the other heating wire terminal, thereby avoiding contact with an externally exposed part of the other heating wire terminal.
  • In the present invention, the plurality of heating wire terminals projecting on the window glass of the vehicle are so aligned and arranged in the projection direction that the connecting portions thereof have the same projection direction. Thus, the power supply cables respectively connected to these heating wire terminals can be routed in the same direction and connected. As a result, the power supply cables can be space-efficiently routed to the plurality of heating wire terminals.
  • If the power supply cables are drawn out in the same direction from the plurality of aligned and arranged heating wire terminals, the power supply cable connected to the heating wire terminal located in front in an alignment direction extends while passing the heating wire terminal located behind in the alignment direction. At that time, since the vicinity of the base end part of the connecting portion of the heating wire terminal projecting from the window glass is exposed to outside, there is a possibility of interference with the power supply cable. In this respect, according to the present invention, contact with the externally exposed part of the heating wire terminal is avoided by mounting the interference regulating member on the part of the power supply cable extending while passing the other heating wire terminal. Thus, the power supply cables can be space-efficiency routed while the problem of the interference of the heating wire terminal and the power supply cable is advantageously avoided.
  • According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the power supply cable routing structure according to the first aspect, the interference regulating member is formed of a member having a higher rigidity than the power supply cable.
  • According to this aspect, the interference regulating member can be provided by a simple structure by fixing a member having a higher rigidity than the power supply cable, e.g. made of synthetic resin to the part of the power supply cable extending while passing the other heating wire terminal with a vinyl tape or the like, wherefore production cost can be reduced.
  • According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the power supply cable routing structure according to the first or second aspect, the connection terminal provided on the end of the power supply cable is accommodated in a connector housing and the interference regulating member is fixed to the connector housing of the power supply cable connected to the other heating wire terminal.
  • According to this aspect, the interference regulating member of the power supply cable can be fixed, skillfully using the connector housing for accommodating the connection terminal provided on the end of the power supply cable. This can further reliably and stably prevent the problem of the interference of the externally exposed part of the heating wire terminal and the power supply cable.
  • Note that a fixing means may be anything provided that it can fix the interference regulating member to the connector housing. For example, the interference regulating member may be fixed to the connector housing using a vinyl tape, the interference regulating member may be fixed to the connector housing by adhesion or an engaging recess or projection may be provided on the connector housing and engaged with a projection or recess provided on the interference regulating member to fix the interference regulating member and the connector housing.
  • In the present invention, the plurality of heating wire terminals are so configured that the connecting portions thereof have the same projection direction and aligned and arranged in the projection direction of the connecting portions, and the interference regulating member is mounted on the part of the power supply cable connected to the heating wire terminal and extending while passing the other heating wire terminal. In this way, the plurality of heating wire terminals can be drawn out in the same direction and space-efficiently routed while the interference of the power supply cable and the heating wire terminal is avoided.

  • Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention are described with reference to the drawings.
  • First, FIG. 1 shows an essential part on a vehicle interior side of a rear window 12 of an automotive vehicle with a power supply cable routing structure 10 to heating wire terminals as a first embodiment of the present invention. The rear window 12 is provided with a rear glass 14 as a window glass of the vehicle. A heating wire 16 is laid in the rear glass as conventionally known.
  • The heating wire 16 is provided with strip-like thin film electrode portions 18 a, 18 b having a predetermined width and the power supply cable routing structure 10 of the present invention is provided in a part where the thin film electrode portions 18 a, 18 b are formed. The power supply cable routing structure 10 is enlargedly shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The thin film electrode portions 18 a, 18 b are respectively provided with heating wire terminals 20 a, 20 b made of metal.
  • Each of the heating wire terminals 20 a, 20 b includes a plate-like base end part 22 a, 22 b and a connecting portion 24 a, 24 b projecting in an oblique direction from the base end part 22 a, 22 b. The base end part 22 a, 22 b is fixed to the thin film electrode portion 18 a, 18 b such as by soldering to be electrically connected. By fixing the base end part 22 a, 22 b to the thin film electrode portion 18 a, 18 b, the connecting portion 24 a, 24 b projects obliquely upwardly relative to the rear glass 14. The heating wire terminals 20 a, 20 b are so fixed to the thin film electrode portions 18 a, 18 b that the connecting portions 24 a, 24 b thereof have the same projection direction and are aligned and arranged in a state separated from each other in the projection direction of the connecting portions 24 a, 24 b.
  • Power supply cables 26 a, 26 b connected to a battery are respectively connected to the heating wire terminals 20 a, 20 b. Connection terminals 28 a, 28 b made of metal are respectively provided on ends of the power supply cables 26 a, 26 b. The connection terminals 28 a, 28 b are respectively accommodated in connector housings 30 a, 30 b made of resin and having a rectangular block shape. The connection terminal 28 a of the power supply cable 26 a is connected to the connecting portion 24 a of the heating wire terminal 20 a by mounting the connector housing 30 a on the heating wire terminal 20 a, whereas the connection terminal 28 b of the power supply cable 26 b is connected to the connecting portion 24 b of the heating wire terminal 20 b by mounting the connector housing 30 b on the heating wire terminal 20 b. These power supply cables 26 a, 26 b are drawn out in the projection direction (rightward direction in FIGS. 2 and 3) of the connecting portions 24 a, 24 b of the heating wire terminals 20 a, 20 b.
  • By drawing out the power supply cables 26 a, 26 b in the same direction, the power supply cable 26 a connected to the connecting portion 24 a of one heating wire terminal 20 a passes vertically above the other heating wire terminal 20 b and extends vertically above an externally exposed part 32 not covered by the connector housing 30 b at a base end part of the connecting portion 24 b of the heating wire terminal 20 b.
  • An interference regulating member 34 is mounted on a part of the power supply cable 26 a extending while passing the heating wire terminal 20 b. The interference regulating member 34 is a member having a bar shape extending straight while having a circular cross-section, formed of, for example, synthetic resin and having a higher rigidity than the power supply cable 26 a. Such an interference regulating member 34 is placed on a sheath of the part of the power supply cable 26 a passing the heating wire terminal 20 b and mounted by being wound with a tape 36. In this way, the deflection and deformation of the part of the power supply cable 26 a extending while passing the heating wire terminal 20 b is hindered by the interference regulating member 34 to avoid the contact of the power supply cable 26 a and the exposed part 32.
  • In the power supply cable routing structure 10 according to this embodiment, the heating wire terminals 20 a, 20 b provided on the heating wire 16 are so arranged that the connecting portions 24 a, 24 b thereof project in the same direction. In this way, the power supply cables 26 a, 26 b connected to the respective heating wire terminals 20 a, 20 b are drawn out in the same direction. This enables the power supply cables 26 a, 26 b to be space-efficiently routed.
  • By drawing out the power supply cables 26 a, 26 b in the same direction, one power supply cable 26 a passes vertically above the other heating wire terminal 20 b. Thus, there is a possibility of interference with the externally exposed part 32 of the heating wire terminal 20 b. However, according to the present invention, the interference regulating member 34 is mounted on the part of the power supply cable 26 a passing the heating wire terminal 20 b to prevent deflection and deformation. This makes it possible to prevent the interference of the power supply cable 26 a and the externally exposed part 32 of the heating wire terminal 20 b while space-efficiently routing the power supply cables 26 a, 26 b and avoid a possibility of the breakage of the power supply cable 26 a and the like induced due to interference. The interference of the heating wire terminal 20 b and the power supply cable 26 a can be cost-efficiently avoided without requiring large-scale equipment by a simple structure of fitting the interference regulating member 32, which is a bar-like member formed of synthetic resin, on the sheath of the power supply cable 26 a and winding the tape 36 to fix the interference regulating member 34.
  • Next, a power supply cable routing structure 40 to heating wire terminals as a second embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 4. Note that, in the following description, members and parts structured similarly to the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference signs as in the first embodiment in FIG. 4 and not described.
  • In this embodiment, an interference regulating member 34 is fixed to a connector housing 30 b of a power supply cable 26 b connected to another heating wire terminal 20 b by a tape 36 as a fixing means. This hinders the deflection and deformation of a part of a power supply cable 26 a passing the heating wire terminal 20 b and prevents interference with an externally exposed part 32 of the heating wire terminal 20 b. By doing so, the interference of the power supply cable 26 a and the heating wire terminal 20 b can be more reliably prevented by fixing the interference regulating member 34 to the connector housing 30 b connected to the heating wire terminal 20 b. Note that the fixing means for fixing the interference regulating member 34 to the connector housing 30 b is not limited to the tape 36. For example, the interference regulating member 34 may be fixed to the connector housing 30 b by adhesion or an engaging recess or projection may be provided on the connector housing 30 b and engaged with a projection or recess provided on the interference regulating member 34 to fix the interference regulating member 34.
  • Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the specific description thereof. For example, the number of the heating wire terminals is not limited and three or more heating wire terminals may be so aligned and arranged that connecting portions thereof project in the same direction and interference regulating members may be provided on a plurality of parts of each power supply cable connected to the corresponding heating wire terminal passing the other heating wire terminals.
  • Further, the specific shape of the interference regulating member is also not limited to the shape as described in the above embodiments. For example, it is possible to adopt an interference regulating member having a rectangular cross-section, a U-shaped cross-sectional shape to be externally fitted on the power supply cable, a tubular shape to be externally fitted on the power supply cable or the like. Furthermore, the interference regulating member is not necessarily limited to the one having a linear shape and may be formed into a bent shape such as to hold the power supply cable in a bent shape in consideration of a routing space around the part of the power supply cable passing the other heating wire terminal and the like. Further, in the above embodiments, tape winding is performed after the solid and bar-like interference regulating member 34 is placed on the sheath of the power supply cable 26 a. However, the interference regulating member may be, for example, formed into a hollow half body obtained by dividing a tubular shape in a circumferential direction over the entire length and such an interference regulating member may be fixed by being wound together with the power supply cable with a tape after being mounted on the power supply cable.
